Subject: Ben Hecht's book became a real sensation for me
Subject: Ben Hecht's book became a real sensation for me
The idea of the Holocaust of European Jewry, which is formed from the facts presented in it, differs from the generally accepted one today.
Ben Hecht ... worked on the book from 1955 to 1961. His main source was the protocols of the trial in Jerusalem in 1953-55, at which the Israeli government opposed Malkiel Greenwald, who accused government official Rudolf Kastner of collaborating with the Nazis.
Brief summary of the book
During the Second World War, official Jewish leaders heading the Jewish Agency, the World Zionist Organization and the socialist Zionist Mapai party entered into cooperation with the Nazis in order to quickly and silently exterminate 800,000 Jews who were in Hungary at that time. Thanks to this cooperation, the Nazis managed to deport almost all Jews to death camps during the summer of 1944.
The executor of the will of the Jewish leaders was Rudolf Kastner, a member of the Mapai party and an employee of the Jewish Agency's office in Hungary. The Nazis made an agreement with him. Kostner had to convince the Jews that they were not going to be killed, and therefore they did not need to resist or try to escape. In exchange, the Nazis will allow Kastner to save several hundred Jews at his discretion. Kastner fulfilled his part of the agreement; the Nazis fulfilled theirs. (Chapters: 37-42, 54)
During the trial in Jerusalem, to the horror of the Israeli government, other facts about this shocking collaboration were revealed:
1) Jewish leaders organized a "Conspiracy of Silence" to help the Nazis solve the Jewish question in the occupied territories. They banned the publication in the press of facts about the genocide that were sent to them by the Jews of Europe and local Jewish Agency employees. They suppressed any information about the extermination of Jews and tried to discredit the people who spread it. (Chapters: 35-36, 47, 56)
2) To provide themselves with an alibi against future accusations of inaction, the bosses of the Jewish Agency and the Mapai party sent three young rescue parachutists to Nazi-occupied Hungary, among whom was Hannah Senesh. Upon arrival in Hungary, rescuers were told to contact Rudolf Kastner. At the same time, the bosses informed the Nazis about the mission of their parachutists and ordered Kastner to hand over the rescuers to the enemies. As a result, Hana Senesh was captured after crossing the Hungarian border, and Kastner handed over the other two parachutists to the Nazis. After the war, Golda Meir, the third leader of the Mapai party, shed “crocodile tears” about Hannah Senesh in her memoirs. (Chapters: 43-44)
3) Jewish leaders scuttled a deal to save Hungary's 800,000 Jews. In May 1944, the leader of the extermination, Adolf Eichmann, offered them a deal in which he promised to release all the Jews of Hungary in exchange for a thousand tons of tea, a thousand tons of coffee and ten thousand trucks. In order to disrupt the deal, the Jewish leaders handed over to the British the emissary of the Jewish Agency, who came to them with Eichmann's proposal from Budapest. The British imprisoned the emissary for four months until all the Jews of Hungary were exterminated. (Chapters: 62-68)
The author of the book also found out that in February 1943, the Romanian government made a proposal to the US and British governments to save 70 thousand Jews of Transnistria, paying $50 for each. The Jewish Agency in London rejected Romania's offer, and the American Jewish Congress said the fundraising did not seem justified. As Deputy Secretary of State Adolf Berli said, the US State Department did not disseminate this news due to Jewish pressure. (Chapter 56)
After the war, Jewish leaders slandered the Jews of Europe who had been deceived and betrayed by them, saying that these people, like sheep, meekly went to slaughter.
Another blasphemous act was the signing in 1952 of the "Reparations Agreement" between West Germany and Israel, under which reparations were paid to the State of Israel. A special cynicism was that the Agreement was signed by the Ben-Gurion government, consisting of the leaders of the Mapai party, who helped the Nazis to destroy the Jews of Europe. German reparations saved the inefficient socialist economy of the Mapai party and helped extend its rule until 1977.
At the end of the trial in Jerusalem, the chairman of the court, Benjamin Halevi, in his verdict accused Rudolf Kastner of collaborating with the Nazis. The government's appeal to the Supreme Court did not help to overturn the verdict.
The verdict of Judge Halevi demanded a new trial, in which Rudolf Kastner and the leaders of the Mapai party standing behind him, who hold senior positions in the Israeli government, were to become the accused.
Kastner knew too much about the involvement of the leaders of the Mapai party and the Jewish Agency in the extermination of European Jews. This decided his fate. The leaders of the Mapai party ordered the secret services of Shabak to physically eliminate Kastner.
Names of Jewish leaders who helped the Nazis destroy the Jews of Europe
The highest level of official Jewish leaders in the 1930s and 1940s was represented by four people:
• Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952) – President of the World Zionist Organization (1920-46) and President of the Jewish Agency (1929-46). Before the creation of the State of Israel, the Jewish Agency served as the Government of the Jews of Palestine.
• David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973) – head of the Executive Committee of the Jewish Agency (1935-48) and leader of the Mapai party, which was part of the Socialist International. The Socintern is the ideological heir of the First International, created by Karl Marx in London in 1863.
• Moshe Sharet (1894-1965) – head of the political department of the Jewish Agency (1931-48) and the second leader of the Mapai party.
• Stephen Wise (1874-1949) – Chairman of the executive committee of the "World Jewish Congress" (1936), representing the Jews of the Diaspora. Stephen Wise was a leader of reform Judaism in the United States. Reformist clerics who call themselves "rabbis" are still waging a war against the State of Israel, which is called the "struggle for democracy."
After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948
• Chaim Weizmann became its first president (1949-51);
• Ben-Gurion – first Prime Minister (1948-53 and 1955-63);
• Moshe Sharet – the second Prime Minister (1953-55).
